This site provides access to an online database containing government documents originally publishied on CDROM. There are two interfaces, a Database interface that enables browsing the entire collection and a Search interface that allows searching for specific documents using CQL queries.

Through either interface it is possible to access the original CDROM contents exported as WebDAV. These WebDAV directories can be directly "mounted" on some operating systems (OS X, Linux). In Windows they can be accessed through the network neighborhood or mounted using Novell Netdrive. WebDAV access does require a password. Please contact Geoffrey Brown for access.

On the Indiana University Bloomington campus, the CDROMs can be imported using windows file sharing. Interested users may contact Geoffrey Brown for details.

The documents in this collection were all published by the United States Government Printing Office under the Federal Depository Library Program

“The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government's information. Since 1813, depository libraries have safeguarded the public's right to know by collecting, organizing, maintaining, preserving, and assisting users with information from the Federal Government. The FDLP provides Government information at no cost to designated depository libraries throughout the country and territories. These depository libraries, in turn, provide local, no-fee access to Government information in an impartial environment with professional assistance.”
